Richard Dawson has laid out plans for a new album.
The folk singer-songwriter will release 'End Of The Middle' through Domino on February 14, following up 2022's 'The Ruby Cord’.
As a preview, he's shared the single Polytunnel, a minimal offering featuring just Dawson's voice and an acoustic guitar. Commenting on the song, he said:
“I think I know what’s happening in the song, but hopefully that’ll be different for each person listening. I like that the line ‘Out the gate and down the lane’ - it could mean going down the allotment, or it could mean going somewhere else. Tunnel is obviously a very loaded word. There’s possibly a lot of drama happening outside of the lines of the song…. Or not. It might just be a song about an allotment."
